Classroom Management Strategies and School Environment on Student Engagement

This study investigates the relationship between classroom management strategies, school environment, and student engagement at San Nicolas National High School during the 2024-2025 academic year. Recognizing that student engagement significantly influences academic success and personal development, the research aims to identify effective management techniques and environmental factors that enhance student involvement. A descriptive correlational research design was employed, involving 145 junior high school students who were randomly selected to represent diverse backgrounds. Findings reveal that students perceive classroom management strategies as effective, particularly in discipline, teaching and learning, and personal behavior, with an overall mean score of 4.05. The school environment is also viewed positively, with an overall mean of 3.94, though areas for improvement exist, particularly in social environment. Correlation analyses indicate strong relationships between both classroom management strategies (r = 0.45) and school environment (r = 0.68) with student engagement, highlighting the importance of a supportive academic and social atmosphere. The study underscores the necessity for ongoing teacher training, the promotion of positive peer interactions, and the establishment of effective communication channels to further enhance student engagement. By addressing these areas, educators can create a more conducive learning environment that supports student success and well-being.
